Extension Description
CurveMaker is a simple scripted module to generate a 3D curve from a fiducial list. Curves between fiducial points are interpolated by vtkSplineFilter. The curve is dynamically updated as the fiducial list is modified (moved/added/deleted). The module is useful to draw lines in 3D space, or visualize tracked catheters.
Use Cases
- Draw lines in 3D.
- Visualization of catheters.
Panels and their use
- Parameters
- Source points: The list of fiducial points on the curve
- Curve model: The model of the curve.
- Radius: The radius of the curve model.
- Interpolation: The method to interpolate the fiducial points.
- None: The points are connected by a straight line.
- Cardinal Spline: The default method.
- Hermite Spline: The same interpolation method as the Documentation/Nightly/Modules/Endoscopy module. Useful for visualizing the trajectory of the virtual endoscope.
- Enable: Start updating the curve model based on the curve. While this check box is on, the curve model is automatically updated whenever the parameters are modified.
